Are you making the switch?
A smoother, more efficient ride. Zero dollars spent on gasoline. Less overall maintenance. See if switching to an electric vehicle makes sense for you.
Efficient
Running off power from the power grid, EVs are designed for optimal efficiency.
Safe
With no heavy engine under the hood, EVs can be safer in head-on collisions.
Powerful
Battery-powered motors make for smoother, stronger acceleration.
Clean
With no tailpipe emissions, EVs are way more environmentally-friendly.
Affordable
Driving an EV costs 1/3 of the overall cost of driving a gas-powered vehicle.
The Valley is getting greener.
TVA’s power portfolio has always been dynamic and adaptable. In recent years, we’ve moved away from coal-based production toward cleaner forms of power generation and we’re still making strides every day to generate energy that’s more efficient and environmentally friendly. It’s a natural evolution—one that fits with our historic mission of providing reliable, low-cost energy that makes life better for the people we serve.
The Valley’s power is 60% carbon-free—making our power cleaner than the national average.
EVs in the valley run on power produced locally rather than from outside oil companies.
You have the power.
It’s as easy as plugging in a cell phone. Rest easy and charge from home.
Live for the moment, not for the miles. Power up in 30 minutes or less with fast chargers.
Whether at the office, the park or out with friends, always have a plug-in station at your fingertips.
How to charge.
There are various types of chargers available, but these are the most common types:
AC Level 1 Charger
Often used at home, they’re the simplest to set up.
AC Level 2 Charger
These deliver 10 to 60 miles of range per hour of charging and are available for your home.
DC Fast-Charger
This 480-volt charger is most often used in public stations.
EV range myths, busted.
A single charge can cover a week of commuting. It can take you from Nashville to Atlanta in one swoop.
The charger network is bigger than ever before—and rapidly expanding by the day.
Just like gas-fueled cars, EVs are equipped to warn you when your power is getting low.
Level 1 chargers only require an outlet to install. And more and more apartments offer charging stations.
EV batteries are typically designed to last for the expected lifetime of the vehicle.
Sure, they’ll take a little more planning. But online charger locators make it easy to find a charge on the way.
Most EVs have active thermal management, keeping the battery at operating temperature.
EVs don’t produce tailpipe emissions. Over a lifetime of driving, they’re a lot more sustainable.

EV maintenance.
Don’t take care of your car. Let your car take care of you.
Owning an EV helps you save time, cost and maintenance fees from mile one to the road ahead.
Marsha purchased a Toyota Camry with a fuel engine.
John bought a Nissan Leaf that runs on batteries.
Both cars require service on an as-needed basis.
